PARAMETER REFERENCE MANUAL16
OSCILLATORS
a wavetable with an LFO or Envelope will often result in a highly-dynamic variation in the timbre of a sound,
impossible via any other means.
This parameter can be modulated via the Mod Matrix and the LFO’s - please select Wavetable 1/2 Index
from the list of available destinations
Please note that Table 0 (Sine) contains only a sine wave, and as such, the Index parameter will have no ef-
fect on it.
¦ Wavetable
Selects the current Wavetable - each being a unique collection of different waves from which all manner of
different timbres may be achieved.
¦ PulseWidth
At zero position, all the even-numbered harmonics are cancelled out, creating a hollow sound similar to a
50% pulse wave - when the value reaches 127, the whole wave is almost entirely cancelled out, resulting in
a much thinner sound.
This parameter can be modulated via the Mod Matrix and the LFO’s - please select Osc1/2 Pulse Width
from the list of available destinations
¦ Detune
As with traditional PWM, much of the fun comes from modulating the pulsewidth by an LFO, which creates
the characteristic warmth of detuned oscillators - the Detune parameter creates this effect automatically,
with no further modulation assignments.
¦ Interpolation
Use this parameter to determine how smoothly the different waves in the current Wavetable are blended into
each other as the Wavetable Index of the respective oscillator is swept.
¦ Semitone
-48 to +48 semitones: Adjust the pitch of oscillator1 in semitones. Modulation destination “Osc1Pitch“.
¦ Key Follow
-64 to +31, Norm, +33 to +63: How much the pitch of oscillator1 follows the keyboard (i.e. MIDI note
number). Press both VALUE buttons at the same time for normal tuning (Norm).
¦ Balance
-64 to +63: Adjusts the relative levels of oscillator1 and oscillator2 (including FM), whereby -64 is oscilla-
tor1 only and +63 is oscillator2 only. Note that this parameter is mirrored in the oscillator2 menu.
a unique mix of the two nearest waves, resulting in a smooth morphing of the timbre as you sweep the Index
position.
With Interpolation at zero position, the waves are blended as smoothly as possible, with the mid-point
between each wave representing a 50/50 mix of the two nearest waves. As you increase the value, an in-
creasingly large “dead-zone” is created between each of the original waves, and the blend rate is increased
accordingly until, at the maximum value (127), a stepping effect is achieved.
The net result is a very different characteristic from when the waves are blended smoothly, in two very impor-
tant ways: rstly, that slow LFO modulations of Wavetable Index will generally result in a somewhat rhythmic
effect that is difcult to achieve by other means, and secondly, the original waves will be presented much
more distinctly, and may often appear much brighter as a result (not that they are, mind - it’s just that pin-
pointing the exact value out of 128 possibilities at which a wave is not blended with any other, can be rather
tricky!)
Interpolation is also available as a destination in the Mod Matrix (Osc1/2 Interpolation).
¦ Semitone
-48 to +48 semitones: Adjust the pitch of oscillator1 in semitones. Modulation destination “Osc1Pitch“.
¦ Key Follow
-64 to +31, Norm, +33 to +63: How much the pitch of oscillator1 follows the keyboard (i.e. MIDI note
number). Press both VALUE buttons at the same time for normal tuning (Norm).
¦ Balance
-64 to +63: Adjusts the relative levels of oscillator1 and oscillator2 (including FM), whereby -64 is oscilla-
tor1 only and +63 is oscillator2 only. Note that this parameter is mirrored in the oscillator2 menu.

Oscillator1(WavetablePWMOscillator)
The WavePWM oscillator takes two instances of the same wavetable, and phase-shifts them against each
other to achieve an effect reminiscent of the traditional pulsewidth modulation of a pulse wave oscillator.
¦ Mode
Classic, HyperSaw, WaveTable etc.: Selects the basic type of oscillator.
¦ Index
This determines the playback position within the currently selected Wavetable. Each of the 128 available val-
ues represents either a particular wave or the interpolation of the two nearest waves. Modulating the Index of
